Manohar quits as BCCI President

NEW DELHI, May 10:
Veteran administrator Shashank Manohar, who had vowed to clean Indian cricket in the wake of the IPL spot fixing scandal, today resigned from the post barely seven months into his tenure and is all set to become the first independent ICC Chairman.
The 58-year-old Manohar, who had taken over the reins of the cash-rich body for a second term following the death of Jagmohan Dalmiya, leaves the BCCI at a time when it is resisting the sweeping reforms recommended by the Supreme Court-appointed Justice Lodha panel. (PTI)
